Concrete block pavers can be cut in the same way as bricks, as described above. Concrete slab pavers, flat pieces of stone and thick concrete or clay tiles can all be cut with a heavyweight disc cutter or masonry saw (depending on size). However, for safety reasons we recommend using a small angle grinder fitted with a stone-cutting disc to score a cut, and then finishing the cut with a brick chisel and club hammer (see here). Most thin tiles can be cut with a basic hand-operated tile-cutting machine.

Wear gloves and goggles when cutting by hand; if using a machine, wear gloves, goggles, a dust mask, earmuffs and sturdy boots.
